After Ji Ning's clone finished speaking, the Gan Wu Country Lord raised his hand and directly performed a secret technique, personally demonstrating the Earth Origin Law and the Space Origin Law before him.
He pointed from afar.
Invisible power converged, and a stone tablet condensed instantly in midair.
Upon closer inspection, the tablet was engraved with a vast and majestic painting. Continuous mountain ranges stretched endlessly, each peak carrying a distinct structure, rhythm, and aura. Some were heavy and stable, others sharp and towering, while some appeared gentle yet boundless.
Viewed as a whole, the painting formed a single unified world. Yet when examined closely, it was clearly divided into thirty-six distinct sections, each independent yet interconnected.
"I have divided this image into thirty-six parts," the Gan Wu Country Lord said calmly.
"Each section displays one of the first thirty-six profound mysteries of the Space Origin Law. When combined, they naturally manifest the complete Earth Origin Law."
"Study it carefully."
At that moment, Ji Ning's clone became completely immersed.
The stone tablet filled his entire perception. Mountains rose and fell within his consciousness, space folded and extended, layers upon layers overlapping endlessly. Even the awareness of his other two bodies—one on Earth and one on Qiu Long Star—was drawn in simultaneously. The three bodies comprehended together, their insights flowing and fusing through the Dao Fruit as a single whole.
Seeing Ji Ning's clone fall into deep enlightenment, the Gan Wu Country Lord did not interrupt him.
With a casual motion of his sleeve, the surrounding space was cut off and shifted. Ji Ning's clone and the stone tablet were moved into a quiet side hall, isolated from the outside world.
Time passed silently.
To Bai Yue, it felt like only a brief moment.
In reality, half a month had already gone by.
With three bodies comprehending in parallel, reinforced by the Dao Fruit's terrifying analytical ability, Bai Yue—who already possessed a deep foundation in the Space Law—fully grasped the first thirty-six profound mysteries of the Space Origin Law in one go.
His progress in the Earth Origin Law was slower, but still steady.
Strictly speaking, Earth should have been his original main attribute. However, after obtaining the Golden-Horned Beast clone, his Metal and Space Laws had surged ahead, temporarily surpassing Earth.
Now, with direct guidance from an existence who had completely comprehended the Earth Origin Law, Bai Yue naturally intended to rebuild and strengthen this foundation.
From his memories of the original work, he knew clearly—
There was no true hierarchy between laws.
All Origin Laws ultimately stemmed from the Chaos Laws, and all could eventually return to that source.
What Undying beings referred to as "complete comprehension of a lower law" was, from a higher perspective, merely meeting the minimum threshold of this cultivation system.
In the Swallowed Star framework, the World Lord stage was especially critical.
Because of a World Lord's connection to their internal world and proximity to the origin of laws, comprehension efficiency skyrocketed—often hundreds of times faster than before. Conversely, after becoming Undying, the transformation of the divine body introduced natural rejection toward unrelated laws, making further comprehension vastly more difficult.
This was why many geniuses pushed their law comprehension to extreme depths during the World Lord stage, then directly ascended as powerful Undying beings.
Hong's teacher, Time World Lord Luo, was a classic example. Even then, he barely succeeded and nearly died of old age, proving that his talent was only passable—not outstanding.
Because of this, Bai Yue made a firm decision.
Both Ji Ning's clone and the Golden-Horned Beast clone would break through to World Lord as soon as possible.
At that stage, all ten Origin Laws must at least receive acknowledgment from the origin—otherwise, future advancement would be severely constrained.
There was no such thing as "biting off more than one could chew."
That was an excuse for mediocrity.
With his talent—and the Dao Fruit—he had no reason to hold back.
"Master," Long Kui's voice sounded softly in his mind as Ji Ning's clone awakened.
"During your enlightenment, Gan Wu Country Lord left a message. He said you may depart on your own after waking. When you accumulate further questions or insights, you may return to the side hall to continue studying the stone tablet or seek his guidance."
Ji Ning's clone stood up, bowed toward the main hall, and withdrew respectfully.
Soon after, he returned to his floating island residence.
What followed was a period of consolidation.
The law-analysis manuals recommended by the Gan Wu Country Lord—similar in nature to the Time and Space Essays Luo Feng once purchased—were not mere theoretical texts. Each contained secret techniques created by their authors, practical applications distilled directly from law comprehension.
With his understanding now restructured and clarified, cultivating these hidden techniques became effortless. Progress that once would have taken years now unfolded smoothly, step by step.
While Ji Ning's clone advanced rapidly within the Gan Wu Secret Realm, Bai Yue's Earth main body was preparing to return home.
Earth was approaching another dangerous turning point.
He had not forgotten the approaching Nuolan Mountain adventurers.
It had already been over half a year since he first left Earth and entered the universe. During this time, Luo Feng had traveled back and forth repeatedly, purchasing slaves and supplies, steadily advancing the plan for Earth's overall evolution.
This plan had been discussed in detail with Bai Yue. He had even provided Luo Feng with massive funding, and the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship was directly handed over to him.
During one return trip, Luo Feng also brought Hong and Thunder God to Qiu Long Star, where they stayed in the manor registered under Bai Yue's identity—effectively establishing a long-term base.
After this period of cultivation, both Hong and Thunder God had reached Planetary Level Ninth Rank. Thunder God, with his superior genetic energy talent, was only a single step away from breaking into the Stellar Rank.
Compared to Bai Yue, who rarely returned, Luo Feng remained extremely cautious. He even rented multiple warehouses on Bailan Star as transit points to avoid unnecessary exposure.
Because the Earth Ascension Plan was too important, the four strongest Earthlings would all return this time to personally oversee and endorse it.
Looking at the blue planet through the external simulation of the newly purchased spaceship, Hong let out a rare sigh.
"After seeing the vastness of the universe—and the darkness of human hearts—only when I return to Earth do I feel at peace. This is our home."
Thunder God nodded solemnly, a rare seriousness in his voice.
"Even races with countless Stellar Rank experts can still be enslaved. We must become stronger."
"As long as we grow strong enough, Earth's safety will be guaranteed," Bai Yue said.
Yet inwardly, he remained cautious.
The Nuolan Mountain adventurers were insignificant—but attention from higher levels of humanity was not.
In the original timeline, Earth was exposed because Hong broke through over twenty levels of Illusionary Island in one go, combined with Luo Feng's existence as a peerless monster. That sequence drew the gaze of the Great Axe Founder.
As long as that chain of events was avoided, Earth's uniqueness could remain concealed.
I'll need to talk to Luo Feng and the others about this, he thought.
"With your help, I feel like I'll break through to Stellar Rank soon," Thunder God said firmly.
"I can't let you two stand in front of everything forever."
"I'm close as well," Hong added quietly.
"If Earth is to become strong, it cannot rely on just one or two people."
Their pride—as former peak powerhouses—drove them forward.
They would not become burdens.
